some of us can't use that website, theprolo. :P

Well, it's the only solution that works exactly the way you want it to. :P

Tim Miller: seeing as the Custom ZIPs overwrite already, you should just host each module as a custom ZIP and then have your players use right ZIPs in the right order. :P

Trevor520599: it's *quite* possible, even now! Autocrafting tables with minium stones, and poof, you've got an EE "factory". It'll still take effort from you, as you'll need to replace the stones every now and then, but it's a factory.

Trevor520599: Buddy. Face it, EE2 was dumb. In and of itself, it was fine, but it's balanced for vanilla. Have you noticed that on the Tekkit wiki, literally everything is listed in terms of EMC? It's true! Why is that? Because, for many people, EE is pretty much all they know. They might do a bit of BuildCraft, and a bit of IC2 for ore doubling, but face it. EE2 is OP because there's no loss in the system. EE3, however, as it stands, has the Minium stone. (yay, the old recipes are back!) But, it takes damage, and the shards aren't possible to obtain in an automated fashion, meaning you'll have to put some actual effort into it. I'm so sorry for your loss. :rolleyes:

You wished for a wish, but you never got one. I wish PAINS was a "whole internet" thing, not just a "Technic Forums" thing.

Granted, but you are deported from Australia to Czechoslovakia, whose fibre optics the Aussies stole for their Internet; you're stuck on a dial-up line. Holy ninja, Batman! Granted, but the only wish you're allowed to make is for the end of all life in the universe. I wish I had my original logo, without the "uber troll" on it, around.

Granted, but all wishes are now granted in 11 word sentences. I wish that the Super Trolls disbanded.

Umm, take the vanilla .minecraft folder, download Minecraft Forge, rename the Forge zip to "modpack.jar", and place it in the "bin" folder. Then, take Mo'Creatures and place it in the "mods" folder. Zip up the whole thing. Done.

Granted, but it's powered by children's blood, and the tank is empty. I wish cocaine never existed.

Your backhoe is permanently soaked in the blood of innocent children. I wish for Pluto to explode.

Alright, I think I may have been misunderstood a bit. I don't think Slowpoke made the community a better place (God forbid). No, I'm saying FTB's existence makes the MC community a better place. You may disagree, and that's fine; but here's my reasoning on the matter. 1. FTB provides options. This is always a good thing. 2. FTB provides comparables. Comparing Technic to AMCO or DNS is apples to oranges. Technic to FTB is apples to apples, whether they like that or not. 3. FTB provides a different viewpoint. I am not a big fan of their "permissions signed in blood and double-notarized" attitude, but it's a completely valid attitude. The Technic attitude (and I understand, it's changing) has always been something to the tune of "CHAAARGE!". That's OK. It, too, is a completely valid attitude. Again, my personal viewpoint lies somewhere in the middle. But it's good to have packs with people on both sides of the line, because it provides clarity, and in my opinion, foundations. Is FTB's attitude right, or good for the community if it was the only one? IMO, no. Is the classic Technic "CHAAARGE!" right, or good for the community if it was the only one? Nope. But they each have strengths; and the community would be worse off without FTB, just like it would be worse off without Technic. TL;DR: Neither approach is perfect, but to build a bridge, you need anchors on both sides of the river. (PS. I know, I used, a bunch, of commas. Sorry, about that, it helps me organise, my thoughts.)

Hey, Cheap. Just tellin' it as I see it. BTW, I don't see Slowpoke as a "shining knight", but as a slimy politician. (the one time FC's right) I'm saying that both Technic and FTB have their flaws, but their strengths, (combined) make Minecraft a better community.

Sourpowerpete: one thing I'll need some help with on this is the download links. Basically, I'll start keeping a database (read: XML file) with mod names, versions, and direct download links, as a Google Document of some sort, open to the public for edits. My application will get its links from there.

You mean, "Make me a custom zip with only Forge and Mo'Creatures"? Make it yourself, it's not hard. :P

poryy, so in other words, a launcher that launches both packs? I'm working on an awesome system, probably web based, where you pick and choose your mods from a web form and it downloads them and packages you a TechnicLauncher custom ZIP.

Double posting is bad. You should feel bad. Also, do what I did. Finish it/Tekkify it yourself! Get a decent image editor, (I recommend Paint.NET) and make mod support. Use an existing pack, (we used Vattic's Faithful pack) as a base so you know where the textures go. Post up your work, even if it's not really finished: mine wasn't! Heck, if other people are interested, you might end up getting help! (I sure did!)

KakerMix: where? logs? I miss so much when I'm not online...

I don't hate anyone until they've earned that hatred. Neither the FTB crew nor the Technic crew have earned any such hatred; I actually have pity for the FTB people. It's been what, 6 months? and their donate to the modders page is nowhere to be found. Their private pack feature is laughable. Their self-righteous smugness? Not making their packs any better. So, whatever. I will, however, say this, something I said on the FTB forums as well: Technic is foolhardy; rushing into things and worrying about the consequences as they come. That's fine in my book, and they've got some real innovation there, like the custom zip feature. But, being on the cutting edge, someone's feelings will get hurt. FTB is cautious: they always double- and triple-check everything, and many times, they take that too far. That means they take time to change, and have a more consistent experience. The Minecraft community is better off having both. The ideal approach, for me anyway, has always lain somewhere in between; some may disagree, but I think most can agree that both Technic and FTB have done awesome things for the MC community. Technic popularised modpacks, FTB "legitimised" them, and having a crew on either side of the argument means that the science modpacks will get done, the players will have fun, and the world will spin on. There's no place for mindless fanboyism on either side, and not much point in arguing about it.

Admiral Obvious: We've switched back to GDrive for our storage. As much as it pains me to say it, check our MCForums thread for future updates, as we've mostly abandoned this thread.

I think y'all should use dozenal, and stop threadjacking! (plus, uber trolls are so much cooler )

Which of my enemies are you? I have so many, you can't fault me for not bothering to keep track.

Remember, stupid has an excessively low viscosity; it spills everywhere, into 2, 3, or even 4 posts.

They didn't, I believe Tekkit Lite has EE3 in it. :)

There was a minor, B-class game called Fracture. I believe it was only on X360. It had a really awesome mechanic: terrain deformation. You had a gun-ish thing that could raise and lower natural ground on demand, and grenades and stuff that would also do this. It was such an awesome mechanic, but unfortunately the game was subpar. And BTW, Neowulf: try having every single shot ballistically simulated with 10000 units, and graphics from the modern era.
